Discover the stories of young women whose lives have been impacted by our work.

"This programming opened my eyes to new possibilities. Hearing from successful Latinas showed me that I can achieve one goal at a time and keep striving for more. I am currently a college student and plan to pursue my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse."

Angelina C.
“The program profoundly shaped my mindset and deepened my passion for business. Creating a business plan taught me perseverance and the importance of collaboration in leadership. I’m grateful for the mentors whose wisdom inspired my journey beyond just acquiring skills.”

Amell Q.
Interacting with so many successful Latina women in business was empowering, and I still reflect on our conversations two years later. As I prepare to attend a PWI, their stories inspire me to stay true to myself and embrace my culture, even when I feel alienated. I draw strength from their experiences and their words: “Wherever you go, remember that you worked hard to get here, and you belong.”

Hear from our Volunteers

"Growing up, I lacked awareness of future opportunities, but programs like this inspired and educated me. Volunteering has been rewarding, allowing me to pay it forward and witness the growth of awareness, encouragement, hope, and limitless possibilities in these students."

Carmela G.
"Being part of this is a career highlight. Seeing students uncover their potential and grow in confidence is inspiring. Their enthusiasm reignites my passion for business. This has allowed me to give back and underscores the crucial role of representation and mentorship in shaping future leaders."

Jasmein H.
“Meeting such a strong community of colleagues and students who will be our future leaders has been a highlight of my career. As a first-gen college graduate and corporate professional Latina, this program holds a special place in my heart and I am excited to grow alongside it.”

Bianca R.
I've had the privilege of volunteering for the past two years, working firsthand with talented young women in the program. It’s inspiring to help them pursue their goals and take pride in their achievements. As a Puerto Rican woman from NYC, I understand the importance of creating opportunities in spaces where we often don’t see ourselves. The program plants seeds of empowerment for our Latina and Hispanic girls.

Evelyn J.
"A highlight was meeting Erica, whose family is from Puebla. At 17, she dreamed of being a first-generation Latina in college despite financial and language barriers. I encouraged her through the program, showing that her goals were achievable. Many students benefit from seeing Latinas who have "found a way." I’ll continue volunteering because I believe in this mission and learn from the students about our community's needs. It’s fulfilling to inspire them by sharing my story."

Helen B.
"Volunteering has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Working with these young women, I walk away feeling more connected to my community and empowered and I know the girls feel that same empowerment."
